I see so many Korean Warrior, die die protect Forte,  here until I tempted to test drive Forte again to day...

I feel the same conclusion: I DIDN'T choose Forte is good option!

1. As Jalan54 say, it is not CVT. Gear and engine is the most frequent item used for driving a car. So, it is very important, not all those gadgets
2. It is too much of gadgets, it can be useful rarely use, but it will contribute to pain when maintain it. Especially, korean electronic item that have not lasting. I wonder how much need to spend to replace it few years down the road.
3. Non of the SA can convince me on the resale value. Only say "You see so many Forte on the road, so resale value will higher". But, I answer "once upon a time ago, I see a lot of Sonata on the road too, but the resale value like hell", then they just smile and keep quiet. Some say second hand value not important, but this will contribute how much you can pay for next car. I don't want next few years when selling the car, I still need to fork out pocket money to pay to bank to clear the loan.
4. PPl always comment Plastic interior, what wrong with the plastic? It is just kind of interior design that you like or don't like it.

Nice ride u bought, but for me buying car is no try2 thing..look at those who try to buy spectra, elantra, at that time both cars are better specs than waja..but a lot regret later

resale value is important when it is time to get another car..ask past hyundai and kia owners.

the resale value isnt cash? u gotta be kidding me. if the resale value is crap, dont u need to top up from the bank account? and if the resale is good, the amount of cash to top up would be less.

buying car is not an investment, but dont forget that over time, u have to change that car as well and that is where resale value comes into play, especially the sky high price of cars in malaysia
